A Quick Update on Season 2 of Primal Shift

Over the last few weeks I've received a number of emails (and one FB comment) asking how Season 2 of Primal Shift was coming along. I'm happy to report that so far it's coming along very nicely. Already I'm about to start episode 9 and hope to have the rest completed by the end of November. There are a number of crazy twists and turns, characters lost and characters found. It's shaping up to be a wild ride indeed.
As always, anyone interested in being notified about the release of the final season of Primal Shift should sign up for my mailing list at the top of the page.

New Release: Hive 3 and The Complete Collection!

I'm thrilled to announce the release of Hive 3. It's been a long time coming, I know, but she's here and I think fans of the series will be happy. I've also combined all three books into a single omnibus called Hive: The Complete Collection. A designer with mad skills named Conzpiracy made the cover and I have to say I really love it. A few of you may spot areas where we took some artistic license, but Conzpiracy won me over with his ability to capture the claustrophobic and high octane mood of the story in a single snapshot. I also couldn't have done it without a small army of beta readers as well as my editor, Andrea Harding. She's edited just about every book I've written. I'm not sure what I'd do without her.

For those of you unfamiliar with the series, it's a post-apocalyptic zombie story set two hundred years after the world was decimated by a Zees. What are Zees you ask. They're like zombies, except they share a hive mind. The first episode is free for anyone interested in giving it a try risk free.

Here's the blurb to get you started:

There aren't many opportunities for women in Azina's post-apocalyptic, zombie ravaged world; least of all mercenary leader. Not that being told no ever stopped her before.

It's The Keepers of Knowledge who run things, as they have for the last two centuries, working to recover any technology that might have survived humanity's fall. So when The Keepers hire Azina and her eclectic crew of hardened veterans to find four lost Prospectors, it sounds like easy money.

The search leads the group to a crumbling underground city. But what looks like just another ruin from a bygone era isn't nearly as deserted as it appears. A horde of bloodthirsty Zees are stirring from a long slumber. But these zombies aren't like anything in the history books. They share a hive mind. When one sees you, they all see you and worse than that. Something may be controlling them.

New Release: Season 1 of Primal Shift!

The complete first season of Primal Shift is now live on Amazon! Hard to believe how time flies. Fans of paper books should be happy to hear the paperback version should also be online within the next few days. As many of you know I'm working hard on finishing Hive 3. Once that's done, I'll return to the Primal Shift universe and begin scratching out the next few episodes. On another important note. Episode 1 of the series will be free on Amazon from June 7-11th, so if you haven't experienced life after the apocalypse yet, then now's your chance.

Episode 5 of Primal Shift is now on Amazon!

Episode 5 of Primal Shift is now on Amazon! That marks the end of season 1. And let me tell you, it's a great feeling. As soon as I finish Hive 3, I'll be starting work on season 2. But here's where I need input from fans of the series. Should I release season 2 in the same episodic format I used for season 1 or all at once in a single 300-400 page book?

From a reader's perspective, there are benefits and drawbacks to both. Getting bits of the story into your hands quicker is one advantage. If I release season 2 in one lump sum, it won't be out before September this year. So there would be a wait. But it may save you all a buck or two. I guess what I'm asking is, would you prefer your steak cut into strips and served piecemeal every 10 minutes, or would you rather wait a little longer and eat everything at once? Hmm, for some reason my stomach's grumbling. If you're a fan of the series, I'd love you to weigh in and let me know what you'd prefer. All right, back to Azina and swarms of hungry Zees.

New Release: Episode 4 of Primal Shift!

Episode 4 of Primal Shift is now on Amazon! As of now, my plan is to release episode 5 and the omnibus at least two weeks earlier than scheduled, so there's some good news for fans of the series. I'm also continuing work on Hive 3 which I hope to finish shortly. After that, who knows. I got a ton of projects on the back burner just begging to be written. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Happy reading!

New Release: Primal Shift Episode 3

Primal Shift episode 3 is now live on Amazon! If you thought episodes 1 and 2 were good, then hang onto your knickers Shiftites. Fans of my short story Fatherland should also appreciate the cameo by one of the key players in that story. I won't dare ruin the surprise by saying anything more other than if you haven't read Fatherland yet (the thrilling prequel to Primal Shift) head to Amazon, Kobo or iTunes and download it for free. I've also included the story in episode 3 of Primal Shift since without it, readers may be left scratching their heads, wondering what the heck's going on.

A special thank you to my fans and colleagues for all of your wonderful support and encouragement. In particular, Andrea Harding for her editing eagle eyes and professionalism. If there are any typos in PS, they belong to me and me alone. A thank you as well to Craig Mcgray for being a great author, an awesome sounding board and an all-round terrific guy. A final shout-out to all my Twitter peeps who help keep me visible. Last but not least, apologies to the rest of the world who may be feeling like the above sounds far too much like one of those cheesy Oscar acceptance speeches. ;-)

Happy Reading!

PS: A number of readers have asked me when Hive 3, the series finale, will be coming out. It was originally slated for a May 1st release, but I've been forced to push that date back by about a month. Sorry for the delay.
